Reaction Steps

To a stirring suspension of methyl 4-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)butanoate (9.3, 6.36 g, 18.23 mmol), bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (1.28 mg, 1.82 mmol) and copper(I) iodide (347 mg, 1.82 mmol) in triethylamine (30 mL) was added ethynyltrimethylsilane (0.92 mL, 6.49 mmol) and the reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. briefly, and then allowed to stir at room temperature for 18 hr. Volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel/15-50% EtOAc/hexanes) to yield methyl 2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-4-(4-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)phenyl)butanoate (9.4, 4.0 g, 59.9% yield). MS: m/z calcd for C18H26O4SSi 366.13. found [M+H]+ 367.2.
